Walker County Public Fishing Lake Reopens March 1

Walker County Public Fishing Lake will reopen on March 1, 2023, under the operation of new lake manager Sonny Posey. The lake had been temporarily closed during the transition of operations to the new lake manager. The lake is located at 4227 Walker County Lake Rd., in Jasper, Alabama.

The facility features a 163-acre lake, public restrooms, a covered fishing pier and a boat ramp. Bait, fishing tackle and snacks may be purchased at the lake. In addition to a valid fishing license, a daily $3 fishing permit is required.

Alabama’s State Public Fishing Lakes are located throughout the state and are managed by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) for quality fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, channel catfish and crappie (in most lakes).
